These quotes are like the most important from the book. If I could I would be able to do an essay on each one. Khaled Hossein is a true artist. He is able to take a few words and make beautiful poetry out of it. Even for some of my personal friendships I think about these quotes to see what kind of person I am.

If I was to write a review of a book that I gave as many stars to as you did I would want to be able to quote the whole book not just sentences here and there.

I have read the Kite Runner and I would never recommend it to anyone unless I really didn't like them!

In between the 'beautiful' quotes you have picked out there is nothing but terrible cliches, foreshadowing that is so obvious that it feels as though you're being hit around the head with it, and writing that is so heavy-handed and clumsy that it feels as though a child has written it.

This book had many amazing quotes which described Amirs life. For example, "For you a thousand times over" is said when he regrets his jealousy of Hasan and he says for him he'd do it a thousand times over. This book is very heartwarming yet realistic. i would recommend it to all my peers.

Who could ever rip this book apart? This was one of my favourite books of all time. For me a great writer brings a book to life as if you are living the story. It paints a vivid picture and brings out emotions you never thought you had. You can be the most intelligent writer in the world but have no life in the writing where it is just becomes boring jargon; this book is both intelligent and brilliant and gets five stars every time! A crime to dismiss.

As I read "The Kite Runner , I began o recognize an important theme throughout the book. Discriminance was and is alive and thriving. In Afghanistan, the Hazaras were considered to be of a lower class compared to the Pashtuns. Many who were lucky would become servants of rich Pashtuns, but still were illiterateand didn't go very far . For example , Amir's grandfather has adopted a little harazaran orphan who grew up with Amir's father. The same goes for their sons Amir and Hassan. That Amir's father had found a place for them to live and had given them special things was definetly an act of kindness compared to the others around. Although of the niceties they'd recieve they stil were servants of them and lived in a mud hut which they slept on the floor in. I really think this goes to show how even Ali and Hassan weren't looked as equals even to Amir's family. This also connects to the society in which we live in today. An article posted just earlier today from the New York Times states how ," .... history of racial discrimination are best dealt with if everyone would simply agree to treat each other as equals". But haven't we already ?? Well, in the later part of that article you'll see this isn't the case. The article states ," Today, oersistent housing aggregation remains a fact of life for many blacks, with a range of adverse consequences including poorer economic prospects. Lower property values, and inferior public schools". It would be fantastic if we could honesty think what it would feel like if we were the odd man out and with that's in mind , treat everyone fairly so that everyone gets a chance. I really felt like this point for both the novel and the article are important because no matter who you are, or where you came from, you should be able to have the same opportunity to do something as someone else with features that might not be like your own.

an interviewer once asked a famous actor-If not an actor, what do u think u would have become? actor-"I would have become a critic, u see when u can't do a particular thing, u should criticize that thing" cheers kinga
